Its other passengers included a desktop computer and printer, and a game system — both gifts to Nedd's family.

"It feels great," Nedd said. "There's someone out there to help you when you need help."

Neumann and Fuller are part of a homegrown, do-it-yourself movement in Sullivan County.

Neighbor helping neighbor is the ethos behind A Friend in Need, a roughly 4-month-old Facebook group formed by Neumann and another Liberty resident, Annmarie Picard.

More than 1,200 people count themselves as members. They have transformed an idea that started with a simple request for a bed into a way to help county residents.

"We're trying to tell Sullivan County it's not about the guy next door; it's about what you do," Neumann said. "Don't worry about what you can't do. Just do what you can do."

The causes are endless and varied. A disabled woman who needs a ramp built. A Monticello woman who fled an abusive marriage in Virginia and wants a mixer and bakeware to make Christmas cookies for her children. A Neversink family upended by the cancer diagnosis of a 3-year-old boy.

Fuller, a disabled former pool builder who fixes and gives away donated computers, set up Nedd's computer before he and Neumann drove to the nearby Federation for the Homeless.

Neumann walked inside and returned with Clayton Young, a past beneficiary of a donated bed. Young walks three miles from Kiamesha Lake to the Federation each day, so Neumann decided he could use a bicycle.

A White Sulphur Springs resident donated one to the group and Fuller filled the tires with air and adjusted the chain before loading it into his van.

"It's good to see somebody that cares," said Young.

Neumann and Fuller later sat at a table inside the Federation for the Homeless.

As Neumann discussed the group, Liberty resident Shayln Harris walked in, there to help Neumann and other volunteers wrapping lunches.

Harris, an unemployed nursing assistant, discovered the group when she needed a table and Christmas gifts for her two sons.

She spent Thursday evening cooking macaroni and cheese, and baking a cake. She would deliver them Friday to the Neversink family whose child has cancer and which is receiving daily help, courtesy of the Facebook group members.

"It's like you pay it forward," Harris said of the group. "They help you, you help them."
